Somehow this flew under the radar…

I will be your father figure

Put your tiny hand in mine

I will be your preacher teacher

Anything you have in mind

I will be your father figure

I have had enough of crime

I will be the one who loves you 'til the end of time

wrong. it's about pure love.

"George Michael didn't ever specifically reveal what 'Father Figure' was about, but a lot can be gleaned from its lyrics. A love song, it features the narrator desperately wanting to be in a close and sexual relationship with someone they admire, and to also look after and be their 'father figure' of some kind."

"In the song, George is searching for something "sacred" in a sexual partner, and hopes that it will protect both of them.

He also mentions something illegal, either literally or in the minds of others, singing “I have had enough of crime and "Sometimes love can be mistaken for a crime.” This potentially alludes to the general feeling towards gay people back in the 1980s, plus gay relationships were still illegal in many parts of the world (and still is).

The line “Put your tiny hand in mine" is particularly controversial. George was only 24 at the time, but he had a masculine image that made him seem far more mature than he was.

Whoever he was singing to, he wants to play the father or "teacher" role and act out the figure that Princess Diana and other women, men and young fans wanted him to be. He wanted to be their protector."

I remember how big the song was as a kid. In 1988, nobody was even really considering the possibility he was gay. It really was a simpler, better time. I assumed "put your tiny hand in mine" was because it was a girl with naturally smaller hands than his.

I'm 100% cynical now, but not when I was 8. I didn't even imagine it could be about a kid or a man. Simpler times.

Adam Carolla has a great bit about how Freddie Mercury was basically screaming that he was gay in the 80s but everyone kept thinking "I bet he gets a ton of chicks"

He gets writing credit but there’s no way he wrote the melody. Some producer created that song
